Durham / Elizabth Davidson

« on: Thursday 02 April 20 08:15 BST (UK) »

Looking for a marriage between John Maddison and Elizabeth Davidson. This was his first marriage. They had a daughter Mary Ann born August 1838 in Durham and states her mother as Elizabeth formerly Davidson on the birth certificate. I know the mother probably died in childbirth as she died around same time as Mary Ann was born. I have searched everywhere to find a marriage without any luck. Can anyone help please.

Family History Beginners Board / Lambert. Wolsingham

« on: Wednesday 31 July 19 09:40 BST (UK) »

I have a Mary Lambert born 1815 to William and Margaret Lambert and in 1841 census she is not on there. Found a baptism for her. Also a Jane Lambert is on the 1841 census as daughter to my relatives. I have a death for her in 1843 aged 28 years and single to same parents and she is down as having 1815 birth also but no baptism record. I wonder did Mary die soon after birth and were they twins. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The Common Room / Mary an Jane Lambert, Wolsingham

« on: Friday 03 August 18 15:26 BST (UK) »

My ancestors William and Margaret Lambert (nee Wren) had a daughter Mary born 1815 in Wolsingham. I can't find a death for her . I also found they had another daughter Mary born 1821 in Wolsingham. On the 1841 census their is no Mary and no death found. However they had a daughter Jane found on 1841 census. I found a death for her in 1843 aged 28 years, single in Wolsingham. It gives her birth as 1815 although no baptism or birth found. So I am wondering if the first Mary and Jane were twins.
I am wondering if anyone can help.

My great grandmother had 12 children. the youngest George R Hepple born in 1902 in Birtley, chester le Street. He married a Ruth A Keenan in 1934 in Chester le street. I was told by a relative he had 2 children. They were called Robert and Kevin. I have been unable to find any births for children of George and Ruth and wondered if anyone could help.

My grandmothers brother Charles James moffatt emigrated to Australia to Adelaide between 1914 and 1917 with his wife Mary Elizabeth (nee Keeney) and son John Cyril who was born 1911. I have an address in Adelaide but unable to find them after a few years there. Wondering if they emigrated to another country. I would be grateful for any information about them. I did write to library in Adelaide but they were unable to help me after the first few years they seemed to have vanished.

Derry (Londonderry) / Irish family

« on: Friday 01 August 14 17:45 BST (UK) »

Can't seem to find any information on my husbands ancestors. They were William O'Neil (O'Neill) and Elizabeth Hamill who were married in 1864 in Magherafelt which is I believe in Londonderry, Ireland. He was 17 and she was 21. His father was Francis and her father was John. That is the only info I found on the marriage certificate. I wondered if anyone had any information or could suggest anything. I have tried most Irish sites without any luck. I even got in touch with the church they were married in without any luck as their records were poor.
